Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale: "Nausea is not a common side effect of this drug." may not be accurate, and it is important to acknowledge the patient's symptoms.
Choice B rationale: "You should stop taking the medication immediately." is an extreme response and may not be necessary without further assessment.
Choice C rationale: "The nausea will most likely decrease over time." provides reassurance and acknowledges that nausea can be a common side effect that diminishes with continued use.
Choice D rationale: "Try taking the medication on an empty stomach." is a reasonable suggestion to minimize nausea if the medication can be taken without food.

A. Increased speed of conduction and gluconeogenesis B. Bronchodilation and increased heart rate, contractility, and conduction C. Increased vasodilation and enhanced myocardial contractility D. Bronchoconstriction and increased heart rate

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A rationale: Epinephrine does increase the speed of conduction, but it does not significantly contribute to gluconeogenesis.
Choice B rationale: Epinephrine is used in cardiac arrest to increase heart rate, contractility, and conduction. In asthma, it causes bronchodilation.
Choice C rationale: While epinephrine can cause some vasodilation, it is not a primary indication for its use in cardiac arrest or status asthmaticus.
Choice D rationale: Epinephrine causes bronchodilation, not bronchoconstriction.
